Howard 51 A&T 50 we lose......yet again.....in the first round Am i surpised ----- HELL TO THE NO. Both teams sucked - we sucked more.
If Hilton and Martin don't fire this mofo tomorrow - they need to be held accountable for their decision making.
It makes no damn sense to keep SUCKING - YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER FREAKIN' YEAR.
THE EXCUSES ARE OVER - GET RID OF HIS a$$.............TONIGHT!

Fellow Aggies,
I get blasted by people on here for "bashing" (as some put it) Eaves for the results that we get year after year after year after year after year after year and I'm the bad guy. You can say what you want to but I am doing my best to get us a new MBB for next year.
How am I doing this? By solicting reasonable thinking alumni, supporters and fans to bombard Martin/Hiton with their honest perception of what is and has been taking place for years with our program under Eaves.
It is my opinion that people don't have to agree with me but it is insane to keep going along and accepting what we see every year.
Believe it or not, you do have a voice and if you ditrect it to the right person(s)---Martin/Hilton and enough people do so it will be difficult for them not to make a change.
It is my opinion that any loyal Aggie that feels as I do about this sad state of MBB and does not make an active attempt to voice your displeasure to Martin/Hilton then I am glad I do not know you personally because I am sick to my stomach of this type of apathy that has been displayed.
Wake up and stand up for your school. Sometimes it is not enough to just say, "well we have to leave the decision up to them....ain't nuthin I can do about it I still support my school." Hail, I support my school that is why I have been trying to get rid of his no coaching, recruiting azzz.
Our two point guards (Hill and Underwood) free throw percentage for the season is 64% and 59%. Together their assist average is 5.5 assists per game. Did anybody expect our offense to be run smoothly? They are shooting guards in point guard bodies. We have no inside presence our tallest playa wants to shoot 3's.
Are you surprised that they missed free throws like they did at the end of the game? Are you surprised we were down by 3pts. with 14 seconds left on the clock and we had the ball and we drove for a lay up with 3 seconds left instead of shooting a 3pt. attempt to tie the game right AFTER Eaves had called a time out?
I already know what some 0of you will say so this is addressed to the ones who wanna do something about our predictament.
Wake up! Most anything that is good in this world ...you have to fight for it! Wake up!

Hope you got your checkbook ready They came up with then money to get Broadway. I'm sure we can eat Eaves' 1 year to correct an obvious mistake. At least this current AD does not take up for Eaves and is open-minded.

I just sent the followiing email to Chancellor Martin and Mr. Hilton:
"Chancellor Martin and Mr. Hilton,
As a member of the Aggie Athletic Foundation, I am deeply concerned with the direction of our Men's Basketball Program. I am a strong supporter of your strategic vision and have seen interviews in which you have stated that our athletic program is a good advertising avenue for our prestigious university similar to App. State when they beat Michigan in football. For this reason and the fact that you invested the money to go after Broadway, I became a consistent donor to help further this plan.
The basketball program, before Jerry Eaves, was very dismal at best and I am thankful to him for getting us to a point where our team is above 0.500. Although this is a great improvement from where we used to be, our goal shouldn't be to strive for mediocrity but for excellence. His track record has proven that mediocrity is currently the best that our basketball team can achieve under his leadership. Our basketball statistics under his leadership speaks for itself. Our elimination in round one of the MEAC tournament to a #10 seed (Howard) is downright embarrassing and should be the icing on the cake.
I know that there are other things to consider such as contracts, APR, recruiting, and bringing money to the Athletics program via "money games". However, I implore you to change the direction of our basketball program ASAP to ensure that confidence in your vision doesn't dwindle nor does the financial backing/support.
Regards 1998 Alum"

I was just being real and standing up for my school and trying to get support in getting others to voice their opinions to the people who can make a change. If you already know what is going to take place and you truly have an invested interest (5 1/2 yrs to graduate---I liked going to the shool of Holland Hall and the school of the student union ) you talk to the people who make the decisions, not just wait around to see what they do. If enough people let them know it will be hard for them not to correct the situation.

Honestly, the easiest solution is to reassign and then use an interim coach if money is that tight. You could also bring in a new coach with a 1st year small salary and increase in year 2 after Eaves is off the books. There are plenty of ways to get creative and only take a small hit. If he had multiple years then we might be in trouble, but with only 1 year you can get the money from somewhere.
